SnrvBMBBB 30. 1920 The Florists' Review 23 Valuable for its earlinesa is Doro- thea, an iris which comes into bloom with the late-flowering Darwin tulip, Gretehen. These flowers are usually in bloom for Mothers' day and the silvery pink of the tulips, mingling with the lavender j^ay of the iris against a background of blue green foliage, gives a color har- mony that is indescribably lovely in the (rarden. Sara Toedt, ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Last week the heat was extreme; in fact, it was much hotter than during the month of July. Previously the weather had been cold and dreary, with one slight frost, which apparently did no particular damage. Outdoor stock is slowing up somewhat, especially gladioli, but asters continue to arrive in abun- dance. The blessing of the graves, a Roman Catholic custom, originally started in this city, took place Sunday, September 26. This event calls for many thousands of asters for the decorating of the graves at the Riverside and Holy Sepulchcr romctorios. This usually means the clean-up of asters, but, according to the way the weather is continuing, they may last for some lime yet. Indoor stock shows signs of improve- ment. (Joldcn Glow and Smith's Ad- vance chrysanthemums arrive in small supply, but have Hrmor and larger blooms than earlier stock. Carnations are also longer in stem and larger in bloom. There is a fair supply of roses, most varieties arriving daily. Easter and speciosum lilies are in fair demand and the supply is good. Orchids are rather scarce. Various Notes. Miss Lillian Wheeler, wlio has been seriously ill at her home, recently un- derwent a serious operation for an ab- scess in her head. She is convalescing favorably. Valentine Gatz, of Albion, N. Y., motored to tlie city Saturday, September 2.5, and called on several members of the trade. The local trade was fairly well repre sentexl at the Batavia fair, which was held last week. A splendid exhibit was made by L. C. Stroh & Sons, of Batavia. consisting chiefly of plants and baskets of cut flowers. H. J. H. BRAMPTON, ONT. The Market. Businss has opened tip briskly. Sep- tember is already a long way in a<lvance of last year, according to reports that reicli us from all quarters. Desjiite the absence of frosts, the out door flowers seem to have been all used up, leaving ample outlet for available greenhouse stock. Orchids are coming in more freely, and at present American Beauties are being cut that far surpass any that have been grown during the last twelve years. Carnations from the field are nrrivin<; in excellent shape, owing to the fine summer weather with wliich their growth has been favored, and roses are far ahead of their usual standard at this time of vear. The labor problem is now giving no trouble whatever, and the coal situation has been considerably relieved by the recent arrival of some quantities. In fact, everything points to the coming season being able to hold its own with previous records. D. G. P. AT ARCHIAS WEDDING. Sedalia, Mo., has not often seen so splendid a wedding as that of the eldest (laughter of L. H. Archias, head of the Archias Floral Co. and president of the Missouri State Florists' Association. lilies of the valley. Leon Archias, brother of the bride, acted as best man. After the wedding a reception was held at tlie Archias home, on Fourth street and Snecd avenue. The decora- tions at the home corresponded with those at the church and consisted of maidenhair fern, which entwined the stairways and fell in festoons from the <loorways and lights, together with ((uantities of Oplielia roses held in ivory baskets. In the center of the bridal t.'ible in the dining room was a silver basket fiilofl with I'.ride roses and tied with white tulle. Streamers of

How a Florist Decorated the Church for His Daughter's Wedding. September 1-1. Of the event the Sedalia Democrat's society editor wrote: "No more resplendent wedding cere- mony was ever witnessed in the Sacred Heart church than that solemnized Tues- day morning, Sej)tember 14, with a nup- tial mass at which Miss Elise Archias, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Henry Andiias, became the bride of .\rthur William Klang, of this city. ■'The altars and spacious interior were prettily derated with woodwar- dia ferns, palms and liaskets of Ophelia roses and southern smilax. Baskets filled with American Beauty roses stood at either side of the beautiful main al- tar and baskets of roses and ferns dec- ■ •ratey means of stalT baskets filled with Oj)helia roses and small white chrysanthemums. Maiden- hair fern cntwincil the staff-; and han- dl(>s of the baskets, which wero further beautified with filmy bows of pink tulle." The accompanying illustration shows the decorations in the church. The procession was led Viy Marian and Kuth Archias, sisters of the bride, as (lower girls. Miss Kdith Archias, an- other sister, was bridesmaid and carried an arm bouquet of Columbia roses tied with silver and pink ribbon. The bride carried a shower bouquet of orchids and tulle tell from the elei'trrdier and ended in filmy bows at the edges of the table. After the reception the bride and groom left on a wedding journey to 8t. Louis and Chicago. OBITUARY. W. Hunt. W.
